Cynical Fairytale

In this isolated tower, in the middle of nowhere
It gets a little lonely, but I don't let down my hair
'Cause close relationships are far more stressful than they seem
I'd rather face reality than chase a silly dream

Mother knows best, she claims to know the future
I'll fall in love, live happily ever after with my suitor
To be honest, I'd prefer avoiding all the hassle
I'm fine inside my tower, really, I don't need a castle, so

Fuck love, I don't understand it
18 years with no luck, I feel stranded
Drifting through the water, I just wanna see the light
But the fog is awfully stubborn and the feeling's never right

Fuck love, really, what's the purpose?
Other than to make me feel uncomfortable and nervous
Overthinking every single thing I wanna say
Will it make you think I'm stupid? Will it make you run away?

Oh-oh-oh
Fuck love
Fuck love

I guess I always figured that I'd be in love now
So I try to force my feelings, hoping it'll work somehow
My friends all have their princes, and I'm feeling left behind
Will I ever understand, or will I always be this blind?

Mother knows best, she tells me not to worry
Just wait a couple years, and love will find me in a hurry
But honestly, it's looking like the odds are pretty slim
Given that Flynn rider's out there, I'd probably reject him

Fuck love, I don't understand it
18 years with no luck, I feel stranded
Drifting through the water, I just wanna see the light
But the fog is awfully stubborn, and the feeling's never right

Fuck love, really, what's the purpose
Other than to make me feel uncomfortable and nervous?
Overthinking every single thing I wanna say
Will it make you think I'm stupid, will it make you run away

Oh-oh-oh
Fuck love, fuck love
Fuck love, fuck love, fuck love

And I keep wondering and wondering
But this is how it's always been
I've spent all these years alone
Not letting anybody in
And I keep wondering and wondering
And wondering and wondering
When will my life begin?

Mother knows best, and she claims to know the future
I'll fall in love, live happily ever after with my suitor
And if I'm being honest, well, it doesn't sound that bad
But I blew the only shot that I think I ever had, so

Fuck love, I don't even deserve it
I've tried my best, but still, I'm far from perfect
Watching from the windows, wishing I could feel the same
But my feelings are defective, I guess I'm the one to blame

Oh, fuck love, go ahead, call me a cynic
Gut a happy ending is so unrealistic
What's the point in trying if I know it won't work out?
And I'll earn a broken heart that I'd be better off without

Oh-oh-oh
Fuck love, fuck love
Fuck love, fuck love, fuck love
